New Delhi, Jan 16 (IBNS): Giving the Aam Aadmi Party another shock ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, MLA Baldev Singh resigned from the party on Wednesday.

Singh said he was quitting the party as he accused its leadership of "giving up its basic ideology and principles”.

Singh tendered his resignation party supremo and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.

In an e-mail, Singh wrote as reported by PTC News: "I am pained to forward my resignation from the primary membership of AAP because the party has completely given up its basic ideology and principles. I was deeply motivated and moved by the anti corruption movement launched by Anna Hazare and thus decided to become part of AAP."

Earlier, Harvinder Singh Phoolka and Sukhpal Singh Khaira had also quit the AAP.

After the recent resignations, the AAP party has been left with 17 lawmakers in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha.

It can now even loose the tag of single largest opposition party in the state Vidhan Sabha.
